The church I attend recently held a Vacation Bible School with an a Church of Christ in town. The key here is that they organized it and we showed up to help. It is important for two reasons; we are actively reaching out to other Christians in town and we let them run the show. We were volunteers, not organizers.

We mentioned each other in positive ways in our sermons. The youth minister blogged about it. And we wrote about it on our website.

This effort has yielded more immediate effects than our previous ones, but is just as significant. I hope that we do more things like this with Southwest.

    This is great! VBS is a cool example of the kind of things we can do together without violating anyone’s conscience.

    Hi ttk,

    Good point. I should add a few qualifying words to “anyone” but I’ll leave that as an exercise for the reader. ;-)
